Tour Scotland short 4K travel video clip of a Scotsman wearing a kilt and sporran and walking by rock pools on the coast of Brough of Birsay Island on ancestry, genealogy, history visit and trip to the Orkney Islands, Britain, United Kingdom. The Brough of Birsay is a tidal island accessible only by a causeway at low tide. The tide rises very quickly. If you miscalculate the time, you risk being stranded on the island or trapped by dangerous currents. The rocks are uneven, wet, and often highly slippery with seaweed. Good walking shoes or boots are essential. When the water recedes, the rockpools lining the causeway are highly rich in sealife, making the adjacent Brough of Birsay a beautiful spot to explore. Vikings settled on the island in the early 9th century and developed a village that included longhouses, barns, a smithy, and even an 11th century sauna with under floor heating. Of interest to folks with ancestry, genealogy or Scottish Family Roots in Scotland who may wish to visit one day. Find things to see and do in Scotland where you are always welcome. The date for astronomical Spring is 20th March, ending on 21st June
